- Hmm... yes, I'd be interested to see who uses Ada by choice. I've
- been trying to use it for months now and really trying to keep an
- open mind about it, but I really, honestly haven't been able to
- see any merit in the language whatsoever. I'm more familiar with
- functional and interpreted languages than imperative compiled ones
- so maybe I'm just looking for the wrong things. Is there an FAQ
- that might give some clues as to what aspects of Ada provide
- programmers with a sense of freedom, or even with a sense that
- the language has some .... no... a redeeming quality.
